Although I was born in a Korean household, my first language was English because I was born in the United States. As a result, I am taking SDLC 110 in Korean because although I have previous experience in learning this language, I would really like to develop my skills better and learn more about the language. One of my goals this semester is to strengthen my vocabulary to allow me to have a more diverse conversation with others. I would especially like to learn how to talk about field of study courses, such as Chemistry, because I am hoping to go towards this field. Another goal is to improve my Korean writing skills. Although I know the alphabet, I struggle with correctly writing the words because of the tricky arrangement of what goes under the consonant and vowel. In order to achieve these goals, I will set smaller goals along the way, which I mention in my cultural post #1.
I believe that I am at the intermediate developing 1 stage, according to the Levels of Competence and Can-Do Statements. However, I am stronger in the speaking and reading categories, while I need more improvement in my writing. Therefore, I will be focusing on all categories, but put a main emphasis on writing, so that all of my skills can reach the intermediate developing 2 stage or beyond!
